Vizient Spend Management Visionary

Thank you for sharing your stories of visionary impact

Vizient proudly recognizes exceptional leadership and transformative practices in healthcare spend management through the Spend Management Visionary honors.

While the 2026 nomination period is now closed, we invite you to learn more about the Spend Management Visionary honors and the incredible work that was celebrated through our inaugural 2025 class of Honorees. These recognitions spotlight the individuals and teams shaping the future of healthcare delivery through innovation, insight and purpose-driven collaboration.

Honoring visionaries who redefine excellence

The Spend Management Visionary honors celebrate stories of resilience, ingenuity and measurable impact, often told through deeply human accounts of challenges overcome and outcomes achieved. These recognitions elevate the work that often takes place behind the scenes but delivers far-reaching benefits to health organizations and their communities.

All 2026 honorees will be formally recognized during a live reception at the Vizient Connections Summit conference in September. Their stories will also be shared through Vizient and industry channels.

We will once again recognize honorees in 2026 across eight distinct categories reflecting key areas of spend management leadership, including both nomination-based and metrics-based recognitions. Please refer to the Spend Management Visionary overview for category descriptions, selection criteria and program information.
